Discussion: Future work may wish to assess whether interventions addressing parental involvement at nighttime may be useful not only in facilitating infant and parent sleep, but also in supporting the recovery of parents’ partnered sexual activity following the birth of their child.
Sustained impact of community-based interventions on contraceptive use among married adolescent girls in rural Niger: Results from a cluster randomized controlled trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35900221/
Objective: This study evaluated the sustained impact of community-based family planning (FP) interventions on current modern contraceptive and long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) use among married adolescent girls in rural Niger....
Conclusion: This study contributes to the empirical evidence base on the sustained impact of community-based interventions on increases in FP use among married adolescent girls in low- and middle-income countries.
Discussion: Our findings indicate that the drivers of contraceptive failure occur at different levels that are all nested within systemic and social structures. These findings and our adaptations of the HBM may inform further work to identify the specific correlates of contraceptive failure as well as indicate opportunities for improving...
